AI Summary
This bill requires that the existing program for educating students on the awareness and prevention of sexual abuse and assault, which is developed and implemented by the State Board of Education and nonpublic schools, must now include specific material for students in grades 6 through 8 that promotes the awareness and prevention of human and sex trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery where individuals are exploited for commercial sex. This addition aims to enhance the existing curriculum by addressing the critical issue of human and sex trafficking for this age group, ensuring they receive age-appropriate information to recognize and prevent such exploitation.
